your really trying too hard

Alps you did the right thing in bringing this to the attention of others and you can't be faulted for that. However if you want to get something out of all this that will improve your trading and take you forward then you would do well to listen to what black swan is trying to tell you in his...

Hi Jack, Thanks for the tax information. Upon further investigation and talking to Oanda, the main obstacle in seems to be opening an account with Oanda Canada in the first place. If you manage to do this then you can fund the account straight from a UK account without having to transfer the...

Hi, It is possible to open a canadian bank account if you are a UK citizen (as i am) and fund your oanda account this way. There is only a small cost in sending the money to and back between uk and canadian accounts. However i am wondering what the law is as far as tax in concerned. Will you...

Thanks gc1. You are correct in your belief. The spreads don't seem as appealing anymore. usdcad, eurcad and gbpjpy are still worth a look on forex though.

Hi, Can anyone who uses prospreads let me know how the spreads actually work. For example, on the platform, is the commission (which you pay for both ways) included in the spread shown on the ladder. Example EURUSD is showing up now as 1.4960.5 and 1.4961.7 which is a 1.2 spread, but does...

That sounds great 2be. Where did you get this information? seems strange that prospreads have not been promoting this in any way. I can't find anything alluding to this online. Do you know if they will be offering all the major pairs?

Any news on Spot fx and when it will be available. even a rough idea would be good. only asking as i was told it would be in october - is this true?

Hi gle. Do you know if the executions are instant no matter what your stake size is? for example if you are betting 50GBP a point will the system still work in exactly the same way as when you are betting 1GBP a point. Thanks.
